S-PLUS took it from S, sometime in the early 1990's. The "White Book"
("Statistical Models in S", Chambers and Hastie, eds.,1992), uses objects()
on p.88..

As far as I remember, this comes from S-PLUS, introduced around v.3 (white
book?) or maybe v.4, and due to a desire to cut some Unix ties as MS-DOS was
taking over the world. However, it was long ago, in a different world, and
besides, S-PLUS is dead (mostly).
